Discover simple and effective ways to release jaw tension, reducing headaches, neck pain and grinding of your teeth.

“Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.” Moshe Feldenkrais

Neck Freedom is an innovative program designed to relieve neck and shoulder tension by discovering the relationship of your jaw and throat to your neck. So often people think the solution to chronic neck tightness is to stretch the muscles of the back of the neck. Providing short-term relief to chronic pain and sleepless nights’. They buy mouth guards from the dentist to stop themselves grinding their teeth away during the night. Hardly romantic and not exactly pleasurable!

There are other simple solutions, using principles of neuroplasticity (learning) and play (exploration and practice).

Through Feldenkrais gentle movements and guided awareness, you will understand how tightness and habitual holding of your jaw and throat restricts your neck freedom and can lead to such complaints as persistent headaches and teeth grinding. Jaw clenching and neck tension are common habitual patterns that you can change. 

Give yourself a gift of experiencing simple solutions that can be done anytime and anywhere to provide not only relief but freedom from restriction and pain.

Neck Freedom is suitable for:

Headaches and migraines

Neck pain

Jaw clicking and jaw pain

Tight neck muscles

Teeth grinding (bruxism) and lip biting

Sinus pain and tired eyes

Shoulder tension

Nervous cough

Anyone interested in improving their general health and well-being.

Cost: $85
